My coworker had this problem about a month before I did, and now the same 
thing's happened to me:

At some indeterminate point (for both of us, it was after a crash or a reboot
or some other event, NOT immediately after a new -STABLE build), sound 
coming out (mp3s, regular wavs, anything going to /dev/dsp) comes out sounding
crunchy and garbled.  I just have

device pcm

in my config file, /dev/sndstat says:

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Jun  9 2000 12:35:40
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Yamaha OPL-SAx> at io 0x530 irq 5 drq 0:1 (1p/1r channels duplex)

and the dmesg says:

pcm0: <Yamaha OPL-SAx> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x530-0x537,0x388-0x38f,0x330-0x331,0x370-0x371 irq 5 drq 0,1 on isa0
unknown0: <OPL3-SA3 Snd System> at port 0x201 on isa0

(and all of those ranges, irq, and drqs check out in windows).  It's actually
an onboard sound chip on a Dell Dimension XPS D266, and (as always), it 
"used to work just fine".

Anyone else seen this?  Any thoughts?  I've loved the newpcm driver for its
simple one line, no options configuration, but now I feel helpless without
settings to fiddle with ;)
